Happy Friday guys! Welcome to video 2 of 3 from the content we filmed yesterday in Austin for the 2025 Ram 1500 media drive. Expect us to post video 3 on 2/22 at 12:01am EST of the Tungsten video and we also finally take that new twin-turbi I-6 out for a drive and we test both variants! You won't want to miss that next week!
Always love when manufacturers take features away on a refresh. Rebel had LED turn signals in the front and LED take and turn signals in the rear. Now all incandescent.
@@anthonykiedis1765 Remember when Trump oversaw the top-10 largest single-day stock drops since the Great Depression before he added 25% to the national debt in a desperate and impotent attempt to keep the bottom from completely falling out, literally giving people money to vote for him and he *STILL* lost? Now that was before he was the only president besides Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started. It was also before he owns 500 million (so far) in restitution for civil lawsuits. Oh, and don't forget the whole ~700,000 preventable deaths. (Thank goodness the MAGAt deaths outpaced normal people 2:1. Thanks antivaxxers!) Meanwhile, Biden has record GDP growth, record low unemployment, job numbers and growth dramatically outpacing estimates, and a return of manufacturing to the US. If you don't believe me, just turn on Faux "Newz" and watch them squirm in their chairs as they try to spin "too many jobs" as a bad thing because there "aren't enough job seekers".

I agree with you on the dial shifter and paddles but having the air suspension it is absolutely awesome! If you were going to put a lift kit on it, yeah I agree with you. But if you are going to leave it stock, the air suspension is just super nice especially for towing.
@@hewlett260 You might want to check your pricing. The only thing that generally goes out with air suspension is the rubber part of the bag itself and that runs about $700 to $1,000 to replace. By the way, all of the trucks are moving towards the air suspension. The ride is amazing, they are very durable and great for towing.
@@hewlett260 I have one of the first Rebels to come out back in the 2016 model year. It has the first air suspension system they put in the trucks, period. It has never gone out, despite typical construction hauling. Oh, and I have a 4" BDS lift kit on it too (had to for my 35 inch tires). Never once had a problem with suspension or air-ride in the almost 9 years I have owned this truck
I reserved a rental for a road trip in 2021. I show up and the manager tells me he doesn't have any mid sized cars, but can put me into a small CUV ( nope on my part) I ask him what else he has. He asked if I like trucks and I said sure. He walked me to a new Rebel. I asked how much per day. He told me it was a one way rental and he hated trucks and he just wanted it off his lot anytime he got the chance. He rented it to me at 15 bucks a day for the week, a third of what my car was going to cost. I drove it almost 1,200 miles and while you had to keep your foot out of it, it was a very nice truck. Rebels are cool.
@@gpaje you haven't purchased lately. The only trims costing 90K are TRX, F-150 Limited, Denali Ultimate, Raptor, and AT4X in the half ton market. All are niche trims.
@@davidporter7051 I have actually, and you can get a regular 2025 Ram Tungsten all the way up to 90k, that's why I mentioned it here, incredible right. I wasn't talking about the more regular trims, like a mid-level Rebel you can probably still get them for 65 msrp.
It was just so slow. These new engines will make a ton of power and torgue, and at a low rpm, which makes the engine last longer and get better mpg. Best diesel is straight 6. Best gas is straight 6. Dodge just took gold award. Hemi was good for only sound. You can make straight 6 sound good though.
Problem is that the Hemi is a dinosaur, it is huge and outdated and incredibly inefficient. The new engines are better in every way, and better yet are EV trucks if you want efficiency, low maintenance and power.
they do. As a result, the console won't shift forward, which is fine by me. I'm waiting to find out if you can get the HO engine on a Rebel, or if its exclusive to the RHO.
@@ZmannR2the bulbs are LED along with the tail lamps they're a Jeweled featured . as for taken away the DRL led run lights that sucks . you will only see those on the limited an tungsten model which is stupid marketing
@@atg1338What it's called in Government control forcing emission requirements lower. Pretty soon you will be taking public transportation or sitting home!
The core concept of a turbo 3.0 inline 6 is great, smooth, fewer parts (vs a V engine) narrower block etc, but given Stelantis' stellar reputation for unreliability, there's almost certainly going to be a lengthy teething period with these vehicles.
@@plutonium9completely agree! I6 motors make the most sense for the power level required. If you are going to abandon the V8 architecture it doesn’t make sense to design a v6. Bmw has used the I6 architecture for over 50 years and while there are times it has had reliability issues the current b58 has been mostly reliable and a great performance platform, as well as it’s higher output s58 cousin.
I have a 2022 Ram Rebel the last year of the 3.0 inline 6 Diesel.. love the truck Mpg real time is close to 19.8 in the city and 25 in the highway off road package and tires keep the Mpg from getting better figures ...drives great no issues will miss the diesel option but would love the HO Hurricane on a new Rebel if available...
I wish Ram offered the back window to power down like a tundra did in the past. That was a great open air feeling. IMO, Ram has the best looking truck and the inside is way nicer
While the trucks are getting expensive if the Rebel is available with the HO motor then it will basically have 90% of the TRX performance for 50k less. I’ll probably order one if 100% has the HO motor as an option
Having no cooled seats and halogen lights are a really huge let down. I was super excited for this to come out but lacking those two things is a big disappointment. This truck as optioned is most likely pushing $65k- $70k.
6:46 the downgrade to super basic all-red taillights with the brake lights masquerading as turn signals is nonsensical, unacceptable and needs to be illegal already. All turn signal, front, side, and rear are amber, without exception. I don't understand how the US DOT allows this and why manufacturers have an affinity for ambiguous and less effective and safe taillights. Efficacy and safety evidently aren't priorities...
Still was overpriced, i was about to buy the 2021 rebel new for 42500 after discount, i passed, due to similar specs (minus the big screen) of my 2011 sports bought 34k😊
He keeps referring to it as the old hemi V8 just to make it sound undesirable when it was a great engine. They can keep these pumped up six cylinders and good luck buying one of these things.
The whole point of the straight 6 is longevity. They have always been the highest mileage engines ever built. I’m shocked Dodge even went this route. I’m definitely switching to Dodge now. Hemi 5.7 was a dud. Lots of issues and sluggish.
From what I've seen, the 'Surround View' camera system doesn't come even with the Rebel Level 2 equipment group. Looks like you need to add the Advanced Safety Group II package which is $3,315! If this is correct, that really sucks!
I’ll keep my ‘22 Limited night edition with the mean sounding V8 with the mopar catback. Not much difference, and I enjoy the analog gauges with the led.
@@ryanb8736 yes it is mean,they run with a 6.2 GM truck and the base 3.0 RAM wont be much quicker and they sound like a Civic with a fart can.. Remember a tune on a 5.7 with out run any 3.0 yes,yes I know they will tune the 6 but you still have a 6. FYI:we put a cam and heads on a 2014 RAM 1500 Crew Cab Sport and it ran 11.98 in the 1/4 with a 5.7 Hemi...Kicker the truck has 3.21 and not the 3.92 rear axle ,if it did it would run a few tenths quicker.Customer is happy with the truck!
@@mypronouniswtf5559 6.2 GM is 100 times better than 5.7 Dodge. Only downfall is GM cylinder deactivation. Dodge makes better bodies and components. Nothing to tune in a 5.7.

@@ryanb8736 How do you not understand how much nonsense that is? go to ANY manufacturer forum, and you'll see tons of people pissed about all kinds of things regarding their vehicle they purchased. Everything from fit n finish to mechanical etc. So you want 500hp and 500tq in a V8? well that comes with a mpg dip. Try to think things through in life buddy smh.
Solid review. I'm very disappointed with the exterior lighting system. No daytime running led lights. The bigger screen system is nice but not needed for this package
@@steinjosh1 recommended because anything less than premium will gum up those turbos over time, or so I've been told by Wagoneer people that have been using it for a few years.
Beautiful and packed truck, but the prices are simply too high (on all brands). The large screens and secondary screens are very nice, but the screens lose value as manufacturers require subscriptions after introduction. Still the Rebel is my favorite of all the fullsize trucks out there.
build straight from factory. Get some small dealer in po-dunk town relatively nearby for delivery. I saved over 10k under MSRP doing that when the rebels first came out. I had to drive 400 miles to pick it up, but worth it. And you get every little thing you wanted on it, instead of settling for whatever the dealer tossed together for packages.
Isn't that every truck now? All these expensive land yachts costing 80-100k+ new with lifts and etc,that only get used to get groceries or to get kids from school and rarely see a spec of dirt on them.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 exactly my point. People need to compensate for their fragile ego in some other way. Minivans are much better, efficient, comfortable and affordable, but so many men are scared of looking boring driving them.
@@00_UU I never really understood people calling minivans boring or saying "they'd look like a basic parent with a minivan" and go to the side and think buying one of those land yachts for 30-40k more than a minivan is better,with worse visibility and gas mileage. I guess it's me because I could care less about people's opinions if I'm saving money in the process.
Us Rebel owners have been pounding the table for cooled seats for years! I own a white ‘21 Rebel with the Night package & full black leather interior (Full Stormtrooper vibes). Love it! But gve us cooled seats!!
it has LED head lights and tail lamps . the tail lamps are jeweled making the led look different from the current tail lamps . what does suck is they took away the LED DRL lights
why? Ford has a 2.7 and it's the most reliable engine in their line. The same for GM and their 2.7. If the 3.0 stinks it will be due to Stellantis being terrible at engineering.
These are the smallest engines in the other brands made for light duty with much larger displacements available. RAM is a great looking truck. I'm not sure I buy it with a 3.0L turbo.
I dig the return of the sst trim like the 90s ram and the blue color also but this hurricane engine I bet this engine has tons of problems waiting to unfold .
392 Hemi… less moving parts, no turbos, better mileage, less internal engine stress, greater longevity, endless aftermarket options, easy to source and cheap to replace. SST hurricane… crickets.
@@willthorson4543 except price, easy of maintenance, sound, and real world mpg. Ford and GM are still offering V8 options. Have fun with the repair bill on that when the turbo cooling lines start to leak. Oh and fyi it’s an inline 6 not a v6✌🏽
I like the idea behind a straight 6. But the truth is all Trucks are so over priced that the average household income can't afford them. I see Ram trucks sitting on lots all over my city, And most have prices marked down up too 12k! And they're still sitting on the lots!
Isn't really necessary anymore tbh...these are just as if not more capable as a HEMI V8 and gets better mileage. People who buy a truck do things with them and don't necessarily care what it sounds like and the I-6 Hurricane won't hinder what customers want to do with them.
They were underpowered and very problematic. The new Straight six is designed to go 500k and have a ton more power and torque. Nobody will miss their slow 5.7 Hemi.
Exactly...idk why people are so stuck on the HEMI V8 engines that are very very old and outdated. When you have a Dodge Hornet R/T with nearly the same amount of torque with a 4 cylinder/hybrid why would you ever want something old and tired under the hood? If you buy a vehicle just for the sound then I'll just laugh at you. I wish I had money to piss away like that. We may see a shocker new V8 hybrid as some are now mentioning but it remains to be seen what it is, what it'll be in and how much it'll cost. It's also funny how people are bitching about no Hellcats anymore yet there are literally tens of thousands on the lots right now just sitting there and dealers can't get rid of them. @@ryanb8736
Would hope not as well. They updated the leather dash slightly for I think the 2021 MY so that it all fits better together. My ‘22 longhorn doesn’t look like it’ll bubble like my ‘19 did.
@@paulhunter9613 true, nobody has to buy that overpriced garbage either.🤣 When they have no customers where is the money going to come from to pay those fines?🤣
If I'm buy German or Japanese I get quality, if I buy American I buy workshop bills. I'm into science, big fan of ramcharger technology, American low quality really scares me
@@66skate They mark up new models when they first come out...Duh...then when they cool of they do discounts...DUH.... Trucks are the #1 selling vehicle....You hates are so pathetic and unamerican
Blame interest rates. Plus the V8’s are slow and thirsty. These straight 6 will be more powerful and faster with better mpg. Many are waiting to get this engine. So the V8 will be discounted now.
I pray for those that actually fall for these engines! Good luck to you! I'll stay with my Rebel V8 and keep going while your stuck cause you blew out your tansmission and or lost a turbo! BYE!
Trucks aren't even a consideration for the average worker anymore. You literally have to be in higher upper class to even consider one, or wealthy to purchase one. Prices of vehicles are insane these days.
@@atg1338 LOL I wouldn't buy your truck if I was a billionaire. I wouldn't be caught on the streets in that thing, I'd die from cringe. But you're right, I don't have the skills to build a truck or a car like that because I'm more worried about things in life that aren't superficial and are just for show to look 'cool'. Heads up, the large majority of people that see your truck do not think it's cool, I can promise you that. Only the people in your circle thinks so, which disproportionality makes you feel that everyone thinks it's cool.

@@JK-qe6qqyou must be drunk.
No!!!
They need to make more hybrid truck it be more practical and efficiency
Loving the new Rebel front grille. I would add some options to upgrade it. Overall it’s a badass beastly ride. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Strange place to put the overflow reservoir for the radiator at the back of the engine compartment
Happy to own my Rebel with a V8. Thats how it should be.
It ain't a Rebel without the Rebel roar! You can thank the greenies and the Government for that.
Solid review. I'm very disappointed with the exterior lighting system. No daytime running led lights. The bigger screen system is nice but not needed for this package
Just change bulbs.
I bet our African brothers gonna love it too and it will be soon on their "order list"😂
Most truck in Africa and other countries are diesel. I really don't think they get Dodge or Ram in Africa.
So no etorque similar to the one on my 2021 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi in this I 6 3.0 liter configuration?
Etorque was only usable to 30 mph anyway, only good for initial takeoff
Ram dropped the ball on this one 😮
don't think I heard it before but will this motor be ok with 87 or 85 octane or will it need the 91 + ?
Ty for sharing the vid.
I believe the standard version will run on 87, the high output requires premium.
They said premium recommended not required for high output
@@steinjosh1 recommended because anything less than premium will gum up those turbos over time, or so I've been told by Wagoneer people that have been using it for a few years.
@@Kainis80 that’s just silly
@paulhunter9613 I don't yet drive an inline 6, so I don't know how valid it is. Just going by what some Wagoneer drivers that have, have said.
Do headlights still have the daytime running LEDs around the outside of the light?
nope you only get that on the limited model now
Nice review whats the price?
Beautiful and packed truck, but the prices are simply too high (on all brands). The large screens and secondary screens are very nice, but the screens lose value as manufacturers require subscriptions after introduction. Still the Rebel is my favorite of all the fullsize trucks out there.
None of the Rebel reviews seem to talk about the 'manual mode' aka manual up/down shifting
Dealers are going to have this at $35,000 above MSRP
They can’t even sell them for 15k below msrp
It’s a Mopar give it a little time. Grand Cherokee Limited and Durango’s go for $10,000 below sticker in Atlanta area easy.
build straight from factory. Get some small dealer in po-dunk town relatively nearby for delivery. I saved over 10k under MSRP doing that when the rebels first came out. I had to drive 400 miles to pick it up, but worth it. And you get every little thing you wanted on it, instead of settling for whatever the dealer tossed together for packages.
Two 400 volt power outlets, that's quite an inverter... 🤪🤪
Men with small hands will be buying this like hot cakes off-roading to local Walmart for groceries.
So you will be getting one🤔🤣
@@atg1338 Unlike you, I have very big hands, so I drive an older Prius C.
Isn't that every truck now? All these expensive land yachts costing 80-100k+ new with lifts and etc,that only get used to get groceries or to get kids from school and rarely see a spec of dirt on them.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 exactly my point. People need to compensate for their fragile ego in some other way. Minivans are much better, efficient, comfortable and affordable, but so many men are scared of looking boring driving them.
@@00_UU I never really understood people calling minivans boring or saying "they'd look like a basic parent with a minivan" and go to the side and think buying one of those land yachts for 30-40k more than a minivan is better,with worse visibility and gas mileage. I guess it's me because I could care less about people's opinions if I'm saving money in the process.
The red plastic trim on the right side of the steering is already chipped....
That’s a bad bad quality sign didn’t notice it til u said it 🤦♂️
@phillyspitta8147 press truck that somebody damaged, I'm not sure if higher quality will stop nicks and scratches if something is sharp enough.
It’s a prototype. None of the finishes are final.
What do you expect from Chrysler?
@@NinthDensity Ctfu Ctfu only Italian reliability these days
Us Rebel owners have been pounding the table for cooled seats for years! I own a white ‘21 Rebel with the Night package & full black leather interior (Full Stormtrooper vibes). Love it! But gve us cooled seats!!
sweet looking truck besides the corny decals. wish they'd come out with an offroad package in the electric version
Added stuff but took led headlights n taillights away wtf
it has LED head lights and tail lamps . the tail lamps are jeweled making the led look different from the current tail lamps . what does suck is they took away the LED DRL lights
3.0L will be interesting in a truck. Like to hear more about their 'extensive ' durability tests.
why? Ford has a 2.7 and it's the most reliable engine in their line. The same for GM and their 2.7. If the 3.0 stinks it will be due to Stellantis being terrible at engineering.
These are the smallest engines in the other brands made for light duty with much larger displacements available. RAM is a great looking truck. I'm not sure I buy it with a 3.0L turbo.
@@jw8578 Yeah, turbos have only been mainstream since the 80's. 40+ years just isn't enough time.
You completely forgot to show the under floor storage bins in the second row under the mats . There unique to Ram only .
What I what to know is how reliable these new straight six engines are?
Did you drive it? If so how is the power?
There’s an embargo on driving expressions. Feb 22nd is when people can talk about how it drives.
@@DeadAir21 Thank you
MPG: TBD
I still would prefer the Hemi V8 cuz the Sound in that one is like a real Ram 1500 truck Voice for Muscular Motors.
RAM's always seemed to have the best sounding exhaust note. Guess that's gone now.
I prefer quiet to annoying rumbling and gurgling.
My dream truck the ONLY 2 things I would change is change those ugly side mirrors and I would pick a Red or White exterior
I dig the return of the sst trim like the 90s ram and the blue color also but this hurricane engine I bet this engine has tons of problems waiting to unfold .
It’s already been out for two years in the wagoneers
@@CPO-kn5uo 3 now, and I haven't heard of any problems.
I am just not sure that I can get on board with a twin turbo V6. This is the exact reason why I didn't go to a raptor before I bought the rebel.
392 Hemi… less moving parts, no turbos, better mileage, less internal engine stress, greater longevity, endless aftermarket options, easy to source and cheap to replace. SST hurricane… crickets.
Bring back the STASH!
Are we going to be able to get the H.O. hurricane engine in any trim? This truck would be the baby TRX with that engine.
yep
Bring back the 5.7 v8 😢
naw...it's a dinosaur
What's the name of this color?
What the heck is going on with those halogen signal and taillights?!
Simply the best truck
I don’t like the front grille I wish they kept it the same
Been a Dodge/Ram family since 1989. I think my Classic 1500 Hemi will be my last Ram given the direction Stellantis is moving things.
Good luck buying any truck then. They are all going the V6 way. Plus the new V6 blows the old v8 hemi out of the water in every single category
@@willthorson4543 except price, easy of maintenance, sound, and real world mpg. Ford and GM are still offering V8 options. Have fun with the repair bill on that when the turbo cooling lines start to leak. Oh and fyi it’s an inline 6 not a v6✌🏽
@@vr4787 Inline 6 is a better design than v6 and v8 all day. People are just too sore to admit 🤷
I like the idea behind a straight 6. But the truth is all Trucks are so over priced that the average household income can't afford them. I see Ram trucks sitting on lots all over my city, And most have prices marked down up too 12k! And they're still sitting on the lots!
Lets HOPE ram did a better job at testing their turbo 6 than Toyota!!!!!!
I need the car and the colour code
Can’t believe the v8s are gone
Isn't really necessary anymore tbh...these are just as if not more capable as a HEMI V8 and gets better mileage. People who buy a truck do things with them and don't necessarily care what it sounds like and the I-6 Hurricane won't hinder what customers want to do with them.
They were underpowered and very problematic. The new Straight six is designed to go 500k and have a ton more power and torque.
Nobody will miss their slow 5.7 Hemi.
Exactly...idk why people are so stuck on the HEMI V8 engines that are very very old and outdated. When you have a Dodge Hornet R/T with nearly the same amount of torque with a 4 cylinder/hybrid why would you ever want something old and tired under the hood? If you buy a vehicle just for the sound then I'll just laugh at you. I wish I had money to piss away like that.
We may see a shocker new V8 hybrid as some are now mentioning but it remains to be seen what it is, what it'll be in and how much it'll cost.
It's also funny how people are bitching about no Hellcats anymore yet there are literally tens of thousands on the lots right now just sitting there and dealers can't get rid of them. @@ryanb8736
It's only a matter of time until nobody will offer a V8.
Hopefully the leather dash doesn’t bubble up in this model. I have a 2019 Laramie longhorn and my dash is all bubbled up.
Would hope not as well. They updated the leather dash slightly for I think the 2021 MY so that it all fits better together. My ‘22 longhorn doesn’t look like it’ll bubble like my ‘19 did.
Where the sprort. Model
Piano black in the cab of a pickup - what the !? Just stop it already
Gonna be full of dust and fingerprints and scratches within the first week lmao
450 divided by 26 is just over 17mpg. Assuming that’s an average between city and hwy.
Manufacturers need to listen to their customers, not the corrupt government.
The customers can’t fine the company like the government can
@@paulhunter9613 true, nobody has to buy that overpriced garbage either.🤣
When they have no customers where is the money going to come from to pay those fines?🤣
RAM!👊🏻💪🏿👊🏾
Incandescent in 2024 is such a crime
Blame it on bulb manufacturers for shortage.
At least the engine compartment is the same size roughly, so we can put real power (V8) back in them. Screw the new weaker models
They got rid of the amber turn signal for the taillights smh🤦
Headlight and taillights look like were back in the 90s how do you make a truck look older?
1 mpg better than the 5.7 and needs premium I believe
If I'm buy German or Japanese I get quality, if I buy American I buy workshop bills. I'm into science, big fan of ramcharger technology, American low quality really scares me
Dunno if you noticed, but Nissan is getting out of full size pick ups, and the new tundras have their own issues.
Blue wirh orange interior is just weird. Good luck selling that thing.
I willing to bet the price is going to be 70k and after the dealer markups and fees it’s going to come to 85k for a Ram with no LED lights
No led😭😭😭 poor baby
No truck brand seems to be selling without incentives these days. Anyone trying to add markups will be sitting on them for a long time.
@@66skate They mark up new models when they first come out...Duh...then when they cool of they do discounts...DUH.... Trucks are the #1 selling vehicle....You hates are so pathetic and unamerican
It might be a good idea for ram to start selling the trucks because I see alot of lot rot right now going on
Blame interest rates. Plus the V8’s are slow and thirsty. These straight 6 will be more powerful and faster with better mpg.
Many are waiting to get this engine. So the V8 will be discounted now.
V8s are slow? What are you smoking? My 2022 does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. It's not a supercar but it ain't slow by any means.
I pray for those that actually fall for these engines! Good luck to you! I'll stay with my Rebel V8 and keep going while your stuck cause you blew out your tansmission and or lost a turbo! BYE!
Why change something drastically when it's not broken
Best selling truck the f-150 has the same motors
70 k for mid wow
Trucks aren't even a consideration for the average worker anymore. You literally have to be in higher upper class to even consider one, or wealthy to purchase one. Prices of vehicles are insane these days.
😭😭😭 poor lil boy
@@atg1338 LOL that's not even offensive considering that sad kissy kissy truck in your profile photo. That is the most cringe thing I've ever seen.
@@MrBobbyBrown2006 You couldn't afford my truck.... you don't have the skills to build anything as bada** as my truck or my other cars and trucks...
Must suck to be so poor... hopefully things can turn around for you🤣 i bet you are a Trump supporter because most of them are poor AF🤣
@@atg1338 LOL I wouldn't buy your truck if I was a billionaire. I wouldn't be caught on the streets in that thing, I'd die from cringe. But you're right, I don't have the skills to build a truck or a car like that because I'm more worried about things in life that aren't superficial and are just for show to look 'cool'. Heads up, the large majority of people that see your truck do not think it's cool, I can promise you that. Only the people in your circle thinks so, which disproportionality makes you feel that everyone thinks it's cool.
